St Louis Oct 2005: Scott Joplin House

The Scott Joplin House has tours. Here, Cookie the tour guide worked a player piano, playing A Real Slow Drag from Joplin's ragtime opera Treemonisha. When rewinding the player piano's paper, the piano played super-fast. So I guess that was The Real Fast Drag. The tour can take a while if it's just you, Cookie, and a couple of folks researching for an article for their RV travel magazine, but you might learn more that way.
